13 To The Gallows formed in Derbyshire, England in 2009 with Ben Ash on vocals, Lee Fisher on guitar, and Tom Fowler on drums. Their sound draws from heavy metal influences like Black Sabbath and Slayer, and they built an early following in underground metal circles. Songs like "Bad Day" and "Boots and Blood" show their preference for dark, riff-driven material.
They released albums including The Devil's Graveyard in 2011, The Great Misdirect in 2014, A Eulogy for the Damned in 2016, and Redenbacher in 2019. The cover art for The Great Misdirect, which depicted a crucified Jesus Christ, drew criticism in 2014. The band's lineup has stayed consistent with Ash, Fisher, and Fowler.
Their catalog includes tracks such as "Bowline," "California Sun," "Desert Screams," "Dusty Roads," "Never Alone," and "Old Paint." The music tends toward heavy, atmospheric metal with horror-themed elements, though they haven't pursued mainstream commercial success.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
